Taxonomy Permalinks
Overcome permalink limitations, enhance user experience, and boost SEO.
MyListing offers some flexibility and automation with permalink structures, but there are limitations that negatively impact SEO and the user experience.
MyListing Pro lets you redirect users to custom listing taxonomy pages and create listing taxonomy URLs with parent/child relationships.
Custom Taxonomy Pages
When someone clicks on a taxonomy icon within a Listing Preview Card, they can be redirected to a custom taxonomy page, which is much better for SEO compared to sending them to the MyListing Explore page.
SEO-Optimized Links
Have complete freedom when building taxonomy permalink structures, with the ability to get super granular with parent/child relationships (e.g., parent taxonomy, child taxonomy, child taxonomy, etc.).

Frequently Asked Questions About Taxonomy Permalinks
How do we configure this module?
Once this module is enabled, check the box(es) for the taxonomies you wish to use with it.
- Categories
- Regions
- Tags
- Custom Taxonomy
Do we need to take any additional steps outside of the module?
- Ensure the Permalink Manager Pro plugin is installed and activated. See Requirement Note.
- Add your taxonomies to MyListing (Listings > Categories, Regions, Tags, or Custom Taxonomy).
- Create your custom taxonomy pages. (Note: Custom taxonomy page names must be identical to the corresponding taxonomy name. For example, if your Category name is “Pizza,” then that must be the name of your custom Category page for Pizza.
Refer to the helpful videos on this page for more information.

We followed the instructions but links are still opening the Explore page?
If you followed the instructions, but the taxonomy links are still opening the Explore page, that typically means you need to clear the Listing Feed widget caching.
By default, MyListing caches the Listing Feeds for 720 minutes (12 hours). You can either wait for those 12 hours to pass and test again or you can manually force the cache to clear right away.
Manually Clear Preview Card Caching:
- Edit the page with the Listing Feed widget
- Edit Listing Feed widget
- Cache Results > Change to 0
- Save changes and test
- Set the cache back to 720 (or another desired value)
Can we see this on a live MyListing website?
From any MyListing Starter Site, click on a taxonomy icon within any of the Listing Preview cards.
You’ll notice that you are directed to a custom taxonomy page rather than just having the Explore page reload with listings filtered by the particular taxonomy. This is much better for SEO and enhances the user experience.
What happens if we disable this module or uninstall MyListing Pro?
Your site will go back to MyListing’s default design and functionality.
Do you offer free support for MyListing Pro?
